Chapter 188: Legendary Chest
[Captain Without Chains]
LittleMaple immediately hugged Jiang Feng.
"Captain!"
Jiang Feng froze.
Again.
"...Maple."
"You deserved that."
His expression softened.
"Thanks."
MoonPetal smiled.
Even Shen Tian nodded.
Xu Ning appeared.
[Host.]
Don’t.
[What?]
I’m not stealing that.
She blinked.
[I wasn’t going to suggest it.]
Shen Tian looked toward her.
Really?
[...I was considering it.]
He rolled his eyes.
Hours passed.
They descended deeper.
Eventually...
They reached the final chamber.
And it was enormous.
An underground kingdom.
Ruined buildings surrounded a central palace.
A false night sky stretched overhead.
At the palace entrance...
Something waited.
The creature from the mural.
A dragon.
Black scales.
Broken wings.
Chains wrapped around its body.
Its eyes opened.
[Vharos, Last Dragon of Aeron]
Level 35 Legendary Boss
HP: 4,800,000
LittleMaple stared.
"..."
Then...
She sat down.
Jiang Feng looked toward her.
"What are you doing?"
"I’m done."
MoonPetal laughed.
"Maple."
"No."
She pointed toward the dragon.
"That’s a dragon."
"Correct."
"We’re four people."
"Correct."
"Recommended party size?"
Jiang Feng checked.
"...Twenty."
LittleMaple stared.
"TWENTY?!"
Shen Tian smiled.
"We’ve got this."
LittleMaple looked at him.
"You’re insane."
"Probably."
Jiang Feng drew his sword.
"Definitely."
MoonPetal sighed.
Then raised her staff.
"Fine."
LittleMaple looked betrayed.
"Not you too."
MoonPetal smiled.
"We’ve come this far."
The dragon stood.
Its roar shook the entire underground kingdom.
Shen Tian equipped King’s Shadow.
Jiang Feng lowered his stance.
MoonPetal began casting.
LittleMaple reluctantly drew her dagger.
Then...
The fight began.
It was brutal.
Not difficult.
Brutal.
Vharos breathed black fire.
Entire buildings collapsed.
Its tail destroyed streets.
Its claws created shockwaves.
Every attack could kill LittleMaple instantly.
Jiang Feng constantly repositioned.
"LEFT!"
Everyone moved.
Fire consumed the road.
"SPREAD!"
They separated.
"MOON, SHIELD!"
"CASTING!"
A magical barrier appeared.
Dragonfire struck.
BOOOOOOM!
The shield shattered.
MoonPetal screamed.
Shen Tian caught her before she fell.
Again.
Her eyes opened.
His arm was around her waist.
Again.
"..."
Shen Tian looked down.
"Seriously?"
MoonPetal’s face became red.
"I DIDN’T PLAN IT!"
Jiang Feng shouted from across the battlefield.
"FLIRT LATER!"
MoonPetal’s face became even redder.
"WE AREN’T FLIRTING!"
LittleMaple screamed while running from dragonfire.
"YOU DEFINITELY ARE!"
"MAPLE!"
Shen Tian laughed.
Then released her.
"Later."
MoonPetal froze.
"...What?"
He was already attacking.
Her heart exploded.
Later?!
What did that mean?!
Later what?!
Later flirting?!
Later talking?!
Later catching her?!
She nearly got hit by another attack.
"MOON!"
"RIGHT!"
Vharos reached 50%.
The chains shattered.
Its broken wings spread.
The entire battlefield changed.
The dragon flew.
Jiang Feng stared.
"Problem."
Shen Tian smiled.
"For you."
Jiang Feng looked toward the bow.
"...I hate Rangers."
Shen Tian laughed.
He fired.
Arrow after arrow.
MoonPetal joined.
Magic filled the sky.
Jiang Feng could only wait.
Then...
He noticed the ruins.
Broken towers.
A chain mechanism.
His eyes narrowed.
"Shen!"
"Hm?"
"Get it lower!"
"How?"
"Make it angry!"
Shen Tian stared.
"...That’s your plan?"
"Yes!"
Shen Tian smiled.
"I can do that."
He activated a new skill.
[King’s Provocation Arrow]
The arrow struck Vharos directly between the eyes.
CRITICAL HIT!
The dragon roared.
Its attention locked onto Shen Tian.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Come on."
Vharos dove.
MoonPetal’s eyes widened.
"SHEN!"
He waited.
Closer.
Closer.
Closer.
At the final second...
Quick Step.
The dragon missed.
Its body slammed into the ruins.
Jiang Feng jumped.
He landed on the dragon’s wing.
Then ran.
Straight up its back.
LittleMaple stared.
"CAPTAIN?!"
Jiang Feng reached the broken chain.
He cut it.
The enormous chain fell.
MoonPetal understood.
"Shen!"
"Already."
He fired.
The arrow redirected the falling chain.
It wrapped around Vharos’ neck.
The dragon roared.
Jiang Feng jumped.
Shen Tian fired another arrow into the chain mechanism.
CRACK!
The ancient machinery activated.
The chain tightened.
Vharos crashed.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Dust exploded.
[Legendary Boss Grounded!]
[Damage Taken Increased 200%!]
Jiang Feng landed.
"NOW!"
Everything erupted.
MoonPetal’s strongest magic.
LittleMaple’s critical attacks.
Jiang Feng’s Sword Wanderer ultimate.
Shen Tian’s arrows.
Vharos’ health collapsed.
38%.
29%.
18%.
11%.
Then...
The dragon broke free.
Rage mode.
Black fire covered everything.
Players’ health dropped.
MoonPetal reached 12%.
LittleMaple...
3%.
Jiang Feng...
8%.
Shen Tian...
17%.
Vharos had...
1%.
Everyone stared.
One final attack.
Jiang Feng moved.
Shen Tian drew.
Both attacked.
Sword.
Arrow.
At the exact same moment.
BOOOOOOM!
Vharos froze.
Silence.
Then...
The dragon collapsed.
[Vharos, Last Dragon of Aeron Defeated!]
[LEGENDARY BOSS FIRST CLEAR!]
[Four Player Clear!]
[Impossible Difficulty Achievement!]
Everyone stared.
Then...
LittleMaple screamed.
"WE DID IT!"
She tackled Jiang Feng.
MoonPetal laughed.
Shen Tian lowered his bow.
And...
The reward notifications began.
King Aeron’s spirit appeared.
He looked toward Jiang Feng.
"You have proven yourself."
The final Guild Foundation Fragment appeared.
Jiang Feng’s eyes widened.
The fifth.
Finally.
It floated toward him.
Shen Tian didn’t move.
Xu Ning looked.
[You’re really letting him take it.]
Yes.
Jiang Feng accepted.
[Guild Foundation Stone Fragment acquired!]
[5/5]
The fragments combined.
Black stone transformed into gold.
[Guild Foundation Stone acquired!]
Jiang Feng stared.
LittleMaple nearly cried.
"Captain..."
MoonPetal smiled.
"You did it."
Jiang Feng remained silent.
For months...
He’d been discarded.
Humiliated.
Told he was finished.
Now...
Inside the largest game in the world...
He was about to create something new.
King Aeron raised one hand.
"Build well."
Golden light surrounded Jiang Feng.
Then...
The other rewards appeared.
[Legendary Equipment Selection Chest]
Shen Tian smiled.
Jiang Feng immediately looked at him.
"No."
Shen Tian laughed.
"What?"
"Don’t."
"I haven’t done anything."
"Your face."
MoonPetal nodded.
"The smile."
LittleMaple pointed.
"THIEF SMILE!"
Shen Tian looked offended.
Xu Ning laughed.
The chest opened.
Four items.
A sword.
A bow.
A staff.
A dagger.
Jiang Feng stared.
Shen Tian stared.
MoonPetal stared.
LittleMaple stared.
Then...
Everyone moved.
Chaos.
"THE SWORD!"
"THE BOW!"
"STAFF!"
"DAGGER!"
The system selected based on contribution.
Highest Dungeon Contribution: ShenTian
Jiang Feng froze.
"..."
Shen Tian smiled.
The legendary chest moved toward him.
"Sorry."
"SHEN!"
The chest opened.
Shen Tian selected...
[Dragonfall Bow]
Legendary Grade
Golden Fate snapped.
Xu Ning’s eyes widened.
[Ding!]
